Snake Stories.

The marvellous stories told of ser.
penis are innumerable. There is one
reptile about yard in length and as
thick as the upper part of a strong
mans arm, which haunUS dry wooded
places. 1t is so VenOmous, especially in
May, that not only will the first person
it bites in that month die himself, but
any one who stands beside or comes to
help him will share the same fate. If
he falls beneath a tree, that, too, or if
it be very large at least one-half of it,
will be killed. Again. serpents of all
kinds are very fond of milk. In the
old days, before the railway was built,
a coachmen who used to drive on the
road between Foggia and Naples once
fell asleep outside little inn while
his horses were batting. His mouth
was open and snake crept down his
throat. After this he felt unwell. but did
not know why, and none of the doctors
could tell what was the matter with
him. At last he consulted the professor
of the University at Naples. They
hung him up by his feet and placed a
bowl of milk beneath his head. The
snake, attracted by the smell, crept
out to drink, but still kept great part
of its body in the mouth and throat of the
coachman. A young doctor sprang
forward, pulled it out and threw it
away, when it was killed. 1t was
about two feet and half in length.
After this the patient was as well "a
ever Wdeford'S antiquarian.

How Women Spend Money.

1t is said of women that they delight
TO Maggie over bargain, and show
miserly spirit in all their dealings
that they patrOnize cheap restaurants
sooner than pay a high price for a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS lunch; and that,
if they ever give to charity, it is in a
niggardly measure. Mr.. HOwells, who
processes to have prObed the feminine
heart to its core, declares that they
consider all expenditure extravagant
that is not directed toward dress. In
answer to these structures, it must be
remembered that, unless woman mas
fortune or is a wage-worker, she has
no money of her own. but is disburs-
inc the income or earnings of her
husband. If she has any conscience
or sensitiveness she feels inclined to
handle carefully that which belongs to
another. Miss Wolfe, after the man
ner of most women wealthy in their
own right, gave largely of her abund-
ance. As regards the accusation of
Mr.. Howells, the reply may be made
that, while the generality OF men ex-
pect their wives to dress in a manner
suitable to their station, they do not
usually afford them the means of Civ
ing in charity. In most cases the
money thus gwen by husband is not
in the shape of an allowance, but must
be asked for for each separate need,
so that the wife feels often an absolute
sense of guilt in spending it.

Household Notes.

BY dipping fish for an instant in
boiling water, much of the difficulty
in removing the scales will be over
come.
Lard for pastry should be used as
hard as it can be cut with a knife. 1t
should be cut through the flour not
rubbed
A little linseed oil brushed over
faded green blinds will, if they are
not too far zone, make them look al
most As a. new.
Wash Valenciennes lace in luke
warm water with fine soap. and iron
over several thickuesscs of flannel to
bring out the pattern.
Exposure to the sun. it i said, Will
remove light scorch marks. and fruit
or rust STAINS weld quickly To a weak
solution of oXalic acId.
In boiling meat for soup. Use cold
water to extract the juices; but if the
meat is wanted for itself alone, plunge
into boiling water at once.
To remove mldew. rub common
yellow soap on the damaged article,
and then sift some starch on that.
Rub well and put out in the sunshine
Old flannel of all kinds should be
kept for scrubbing and cleaning paint.
Next to flannel come coarse. soft linen,
old kitchen towels, crash, etc.
Lamp wicks should be changed
often enough to insure having good
light If they seemed clog9ed they
may be washed in strong soda and put
into the lamp again.
To take spots of paint from wood,
Law thick coating of lime and soda,
mixed, over it letting it stay twenty
four hours, then wash off with warm
water and the spot will disappear.
Coffee pounded in a mortar and
roasted on an iron plate, sugar burned
on hot Goals, and vinegar boiled with
myrrh and sprinkled on the floor and
furniture of a sick room are excellent
deOdorizers.
In beating cake beat from the bottom
of the mixing bowl with wooden
spoon, bringing it up full and high
with each stroke, and as soon as the
ingredients are fairly and smoothly
mixed stop beating or your cake will
be tough.
To make banana salad cut fine
bananas into slices. lengthwise, as
thick as a dollar, arrange them on a
dish so that the ends of the long semi
circle slices meet and form Il hollow
center Pour over them a gill of
SneEEN Indu6 yer sweet Will sugar,
and into which YOU have put one tea
spoonful of lemon juice; let them get
ice cold; then ill the center with
whipped cream piled high. This is
delicious.
Tender chickens. cooked in the fol-
lowing way are as good as if they
were broiled. Open them in the back,
season, and put them in backing
pan, with a little water in it. Turn
another pan over it. and bake for an
hour and half or two hours. accord
ing to the size. If they are not brown
enough when nearly done. take off the
upper pan. Cut off the neck before
putting IN the oven, and boil it along
with the giblets in half pint OF
water. Take the bones out of the
neck: cut that, the gizzard and heart
into fine pieces. Mash the liver with
a spoon, and add them all, with the
water in which they were boiled, 10

A Clever Empress,

1t is well known that the Empress of
Austria possesses the most magnificent
jewelry of any crowned head in
Europe, which. however, she scarcely
ever wears, and Whenever she does her
jewels are invariably made either
in the form of a Jockeys hat or
horseshoe. There is an amusing story
of Austria, who was taken to circus.
Nothing amused her and very little
pleased her On her return home the
Emperor asked how she had enioyed
the performance. 20, very well. the
young lady replied, ''Only mamma
does everything the circus woman did
a great deal better. Why l have seen
her jump through six hoops" 1t ap-
pears that this is really true, and that
the Empress has on more than one oc-
casiOn given strictly private enter
tainment to intimeS, in which she has
surprised them with feats rivaling
those of the most skilled circus riders.
Her Majesty started in life with a
double intention, first of proving that
she was not only the most beautiful
woman in Europe, but the most eccen-
trio; and secondly, that she was the
finest hOrseWoman the world has ever
seen. The Emperor adores the En-
press, but she scarcely ever allows him
TO be in her company and goes her own
way, rejoicing Court and Society
ReUiegU.
